Who they are
“It sounds like a fairy tale.”
their own biography
the whole biography
It sounds like a fairy tale. In 2005 29-year old OLIVER KOLETZKI presses 500 copies of his underground hit "Der Mückenschwarm". One of those white labels lands in Sven Väth's record bag and whenever he plays the track, the people go wild. Shortly after techno-king Väth signs the track on his techno empire Cocoon. "Der Mückenschwarm", already considered as a techno classic - becomes the best sold techno record of 2005, the best ever selling record on Cocoon and OLIVER KOLETZKI gets voted best newcomer of the year in prestigious Groove magazine. But one would be fooled to think that this was the start of Oliver's musical career. Since he was 12 years old, OLIVER KOLETZKI has been deeply infected with the production of music. He starts out by programming Hip-Hop beats on the C64, but quickly falls in love with more electronic sounds like breakdance and synthie-pop that he produces on the first Amiga computers. When he turns 18, he also starts to DJ in his hometown of Braunschweig and quickly becomes a regular DJ in the local clubs. In 2000 he decides to move to Berlin to study music – and the excessive Berlin nightlife. He promptly lands himself DJ gigs in smaller clubs and bars, but with the release of his first record, things change for the better. In the summer of 2005 he starts to play festivals, gets booked into the most prestigious clubs all over the world and gets asked to remix the likes of Rockers Hi-Fi, Client or Cassius. However, while superstardom is lurking around every corner, Oliver stays down to earth: "I have been making music for nearly twenty years now. That provides me with a stable base for not going nuts. Basically, I am still doing the same that I have been doing for years now: making music during the week and playing out on the weekends, even if it is on a slightly different level now." In October 2005, while still riding on the success of his debut single, Oliver directly realises one of his dreams: to have his own label. He founds Stil vor Talent, a label dedicated to pushing new artists and creating a platform for a huge variation of quality electronic dance music – from minimal techno to squeaky house to pop music. "From the beginning I wanted to give people the same chance that I've had and offer them a platform to release their music. However: the quality of the music is above everything else. Firstly, I have to like it", Oliver comments on the philosophy of his label. And he is a workaholic. He still spends hours and hours listening to demo tracks and goes out to see people play live in small clubs. Up until now, Stil vor Talent can look back on over 40 releases that include Oliver’s first artist album "Get Wasted", the über-hit "3 Tage Wach" or Oliver's latest masterpiece: his electronically influenced pop album "Großstadtmärchen". OLIVER KOLETZKI seems to have a nose for commercial success out of the underground, which Lützenkirchens ironic afterhour manifest "3 Tage Wach" is the best example for: the track becomes the best-sold techno track of 2008. In 2009 Oliver continues this success story with the release of his album "Großstadtmärchen" – an electro-pop album featuring national and international big names such as Mieze Katz (MIA), Axel Bosse or Die Raketen as well as many newcomers such as singers Juli Holz, Pyur and Fran. With "Großstadtmärchen" Oliver has managed to achieve what only few techno producers manage can do: to produce a pop album with club credibility. The singles "Hypnotized" and "U-Bahn" get nationwide airplay on the radio and when Oliver plays them in the club people sing along to the lyrics. But he wouldn't be OLIVER KOLETZKI if he didn't want to perform the album live on stage as well. In the summer 2009 he founds his band The Koletzkis with many of his old friends and the singer Fran. They have already played live at Bar 25, Watergate and Lido in Berlin as well as in Leipzig, Bern, Hamburg, Vienna and many other cities. For 2009 they have big plans: in the summer they will play the big festivals and will put Oliver’s music out there – from the clubs into the concerts halls, from the beach raves to the open-airs. Label manager, producer, DJ, bandleader: above all this, Oliver still manages to fill the clubs around the world and make people smile to his energetic DJ sets. Be in the best clubs of Europe such as London's Fabric, Berlin's Berghain or around the rest of the world: Oliver knows how to perform and connect with his audience. In March 2010 Oliver will do another Australia tour, he will tour South America again and play the infamous Thai Break festival. While rehearsing with The Koletzkis and signing new hot artists for his label Stil vor Talent, OLIVER KOLETZKI is already working on his next album. There is really no stopping him in 2010!Their RA profile lists Cocoon Recordings, Stil vor Talent, Ritter Butzke Studio, Filth on Acid and 1 more.Last at Ritter Butzke in Aug · often with Rachel Raw, Tuete, Sin:port, none of them here that night

Not your typical techno/house act, Branko and Niklas, alias Hidden Empire, have established a sound signature at once abstract and alluringly dynamic over the years, gathering momentum through a handful of quality releases for an array of international labels. Since the drop of their first records back in 2015, Branko and Niklas have been championing a sound both genuinely turned towards the club while allowing themselves to explore into further adventurous territories – from dreamy, cosmic excursions to a versatile arsenal of foundation-shaking EBM cuts, via exotic detours and back to the classic, floor-focused programming that flows through all of their ambitious, stadium-sized output. The pair’s wide-screen vision shows Branko and Niklas’ impeccable sense for crafting sonics that far surpass mere DJ functionality to print into the listener’s mind durably.Their RA profile lists Stil vor Talent, Truesoul, Suara, Filth on Acid and 1 more.often with Bebetta, Cøral Negrø, Rachel Raw, none of them here that night

“Cioz has always had a bad relationship with rules.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Cioz has always had a bad relationship with rules. An obsessive desire to reinvent and break everything: ideas, habits and shapes. Driven and inspired by the idea of sharing knowledge and inspiration, Cioz has founded Knobs Bergamo; a community-based creative hub in Bergamo (Italy) where artists unite, collaborate, develop ideas and create. Completely self-taught, he feels his music like smoothly random and organic: alive. He sees his music like a creature that grows and evolves by his side. It contradicts itself and gets always better. A continuous experiment, a tree of sounds. His motto is: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” George Bernard Shaw Artists that inspires him are: David August, Super Flu, Rodriguez Jr., James Holden, Stephan Bodzin, Tipper, Stimming, Acid Pauli... His works are supported from great artists like Super Flu, Andhim, Solomun, Einmusik, Bebetta, Atish, and many more…Their RA profile lists Renaissance, Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical Music, Stil vor Talent and 6 more.often with Corpino, Tuete, Mimi Love, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Some years ago and driven by inspiration Annett Gapstream started expanding her music project from home and closest friends to clubs, festivals and a whole bunch of like-minded people. It’s Techno – at least somehow. Colorful dark day techno probably describes her sound best. She enjoys life between playing and producing music. After starting releasing tracks in 2018 her latest tales can be found on labels like Rebellion der Träumer, Stil vor Talent and Nown Music. Annett Gapstream does things that feel good right now without trying to already rack her brain during the first track too hard about the last one that might or might not follow. Journeys can change and so do her sets. This is also what identifies most in her productions and collaborations with others – definitely electronic music, mostly straight but always open-minded for powerful twists now and then. So, yes, for sure - there was that dreamy and almost cheesy sunrise moment in the last festival season...Their RA profile lists Stil vor Talent, Artminding and Black Rose Recordings.Last at Renate in Oct · often with Fabian Krooss, Sven Dohse, Caleesi, none of them here that night
““Dance, dance otherwise we are lost” the larger than life modern dance choreographer and ballet director Pina Bausch once said.”
their own biography
the whole biography
“Dance, dance otherwise we are lost” the larger than life modern dance choreographer and ballet director Pina Bausch once said. The Cologne based DJ and producer Esther Silex deeply believes in those words of wisdom and took the statement as one of many inspirations behind her debut EP “Pachamama” for Sweden’s finest free spirited electronic music label Studio Barnhus. The EP title refers to the old mother earth goddess of the indigenous people of the Andes, who is an independent deity that has her own creative power to sustain life on planet earth. For Silex she is a divineness that follows her on each and every step as a female with groove in her heart. After a nomadic upbringing all around Europe she started to play records at the tender age of 17 and quickly became an integral part of Cologne’s house and techno scene. Her sets are anything but predictable, with an eclectic selection that somehow weaves seamlessly through techno and house to soul, funk, afro and disco. The three tracks named ‘Hans’, ‘Heinrich’ and ‘Oskar’ of her debut release, reflect this musical diversity and don’t adhere to any formula, whilst remaining entirely and explosively dance floor friendly.Their RA profile lists Neovinyl Recordings and Studio Barnhus.Last at Klunkerkranich in Sep · often with HOPPER, ACID BOGEN, EXTRA, none of them here that night

Primarily known as an illustrator whose detailed, black-and-white drawings capture the architecture and urban spirit of Berlin (including iconic sites like Teufelsberg and Berghain), his passion for music is central to his work. As a DJ and selector, Chrisse Kunst is a "record-addict" known for digging deep to deliver trippy mixes of slow-paced cosmic sounds, esoteric tribal chants, and rare, spaced-out tunage. He uniquely connects his two passions by creating illustrations inspired by his vast record collection.often with Rachel Raw, Elisa Elisa, Toke12, none of them here that night
